Selfawareness brings clarity from "summary" of The Joy of Living by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche,Eric Swanson
Selfawareness is the key to unlocking the door to clarity in our lives. When we are truly aware of ourselves – our thoughts, emotions, and actions – we gain a deeper understanding of who we are and how we relate to the world around us. This self-awareness allows us to see things more clearly, without the distortions of our own biases and preconceived notions. By cultivating self-awareness, we are able to examine our thoughts and emotions objectively, without getting caught up in them. This allows us to see things as they truly are, rather than how we want them to be. When we are able to step back and observe our thoughts and emotions with a sense of detachment, we are better able to make decisions that are in line with our true values and intentions. Self-awareness also helps us to recognize our patterns of behavior and the underlying beliefs that drive them. By shining a light on these patterns, we are able to see where we may be getting in our own way and hindering our own growth and happiness. This awareness gives us the clarity we need to break free from these patterns and make positive changes in our lives. When we are self-aware, we are also better able to connect with others in a more authentic and meaningful way. By understanding ourselves more deeply, we are able to empathize with others and see things from their perspective. This empathy allows us to communicate more effectively and build stronger relationships with those around us.- Self-awareness is the foundation of clarity in our lives. It is the starting point for personal growth, emotional intelligence, and meaningful relationships. When we are truly aware of ourselves, we are able to see things more clearly, make better decisions, and live more authentically. So, let us strive to cultivate self-awareness in our lives, for it is the path to true clarity and joy.
